I do have some sites which are consistently slower on Firefox than on Chrome. Chrome (and Edge) just feel all-round snappier (at least when "new", ie with few tabs open). The difference is not enough for me to switch my daily driver, though. Things that come to mind that I use often: * AWS console * Google Maps * Confluence Hell, even the front page of Hacker News loads a bit faster on Chromium than on Firefox. Sure, the difference is negligible in absolute terms, but still. I get around 5-600 ms for Chromium, and around 8-900 for Firefox. Both running on X11/Linux 5.19-zen on a Ryzen 5650U with 32 GB of RAM. I haven't used Chrome intensively in a long while, but I seem to me remember at the time (many years ago, on a Mac) it would slow to a crawl after a few days with many open tabs. I don't have any such issue with Firefox on Linux.

I just tried on my mobile. Chrome is much slower. Firefox is sub second, while chrome was a noticeable wait. I actually checked if I didn't have connection issues and opened a new private tab in Firefox to check.

Google Maps actually works better for me on FF than on Chrome. For some reason earth view won't launch on Chrome while it never stopped working on FF.

Now I have to object here. AWS Console being completely stateful with its accounts and roles is only usable in Firefox with Containers. And as for Google Maps I don't see any difference between Chrome and Firefox. I use Confluence for work, and so have to use Chrome. It's slow and terrible everywhere.
